Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Traps?...... What Traps?
Xavier found nothing in his meticulous search that might have triggered something horrible. Giving the go ahead, Chiron opens the door which swung inward forcefully on its own, almost pulling his arm out of socket. At first glance into the room they see the strangest of the room's features, that there are four identical glowing doors on the opposite side of the room.
As the door swung open, a rush of many points of evil flooded over Chiron all at once. The strange thing is that these beacons of evil, the site of which is granted by his god through the ability to sense it, didn't seem to stay put. The strongest of the evil auras seemed to be playing musical doors, for it jumped from one door to the other from behind the closed entrances and not always to an adjacent door, either. Chiron staggers ever so slightly as the movement of the auras make it hard to concentrate on any given one.
Inside was a Large wooden table, the kind one might use to sign a treaty or plan a war with a map and miniatures. On its emmence surface were two objects: a considerably big sheet of parchment rolled partially on two sides, exposing some of the markings on it, and a black leather bound book.
As the team examines the room from a seemingly safe distance, they take notice of some movement on the other side of the table from underneath the table and suddenly from above as strangely attired, exoticly beautiful woman pokes her head up over the table top in surprise and quickly in a startled voice asks, "Who are you and what business do you have here?"

Subject: HOUSE
The team all feel a little closer to stumbling on to any one of the number of secrets this house holds, but the house isn't playing fair. No in fact, though not evil in nature the house seems to delight, if there is such a thing in a house, in playing tricks on the minds of any passers by.
As Chiron moves away from the group and takes a wide turn around the corner, in order to keep the group in sight, the group seem to vanish. Or did they? A few noises from behind startle him. Somehow the group went from being in front of him to being in back of him instead.

Subject: i agree with you
.....but things being as they are, I'm just trying to keep the peace. Ive said it over and over again that there should be no transference between Player and Character. They should be kept separate. But, alas, very few listen and take the game too much to heart.
I'm just trying to avoid tit for tat.
Thoughts that characters have that are not about other characters (for example: "this foggy weather is really bothering me. Spooky too! Feels like something is going to jump out at me and I won't be able to see it before its too late", thought -enter character name here-) are welcome.

To avoid any problems in the future that may arise out of thinking out loud, anyone who wants to post thoughts their character is having about another character, PM me with it instead of posting it in the game thread. Any "thoughts" PMed to me should be made as if you were posting normally in the game thread (in character).

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: sorry about the lack of info previously....
It was hard for the band to see the material of which the house was made of, for the thick fog obscured any accurate sight of details. The house glowed with a magical aura which also caused a bright diffusion effect, which made making out details that much more difficult. It appeared to be a small house, one that a commoner might consider cozy.
As the four of them made their way slowly around the house, they begin to take notice of an awning with ornate support pillars and what appears to be a set of granite steps, framing and sheltering a regular door complete with a perfunctory door knob.
Everyone being alert and on their guard takes notice that Prajna is making her way, slowly but surely, in a larger circle to follow the group. She does however stay the same distance away from the house and her rider as when she was told to stay. She just didn't like the idea of losing sight of Chiron. Prajna makes no more noise than Xavier with his humming and somersaults.
As soon as all the team have converged on basically the same area in front of the house they notice that there is a path that continues north from the house. Or is it south, for the strange thing about the path is that it looks almost exactly like the one they followed before to get here!

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
Bacon is the subject of the trivia game titled Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, based on the idea that, due to his prolific screen career, any Hollywood actor can be "linked" to another in a handful of "steps" based on their associations with Bacon.
Bacon even starred in a commercial for the Visa Check Card, playing on the 'six degrees of separation' to prove his identity (which, as the commercial showed, he wouldn't have needed to do with the Card).
Ok, so this is how it works in practice.......
Bill Murray -> KB (it will always end with kevin Bacon)
Bill Murray played in Ghostbusters with Rick Moranis, who played in Parenthood with Keaneau Reeves, who played in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure with Alex Winter, who played in Lost Boys with Kiefer Sutherland, who played in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon.
Remember when you solve the Actor connection, create a new one for the next inn-mate to solve.
got it? GOOD!
Now, Lets get the Party started!!!

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil
Subject: Safely to the house
As Chiron, Seluumiel, Xavier, and Lacey exit the city, they find a path to the north and per the directions given, they follow it until it breaks to the north west about half a mile ahead. It is at this point that Chiron dismounts his horse, Prajna, and lets her follow behind, until at a certain point, he asks the mare to stay put and stay out of trouble, promising to return. He may need his horse's speed if the child is found but badly hurt.
The woodlands they traveled through are somewhat more dense than they were led to believe, however, in less than half an hour they began to take notice of a glowing beacon that represents their destination. One thing they took notice of right off is that, despite the description of the phantom house's rapid and unpredictable comings and goings, the waxing and waning of the house seems to be more rhythmic and steady now. The house stays in normal corporeal existence longer and fades away at a much slower rate than described. The house appears to be abandoned though one thing stands out about the place, there are no windows in which to peer into to get a lay of the house before entering. No sounds emanate from it either. No clue one way or the other gives itself over to the cautious band of adventurers. An eerie feeling surrounds the place as a dense fog rolls in and dims the sunlight already dimmed by the canopy of trees. Though none are in sight, the sweet sound of wind chimes hang on the air.

Subject: magic missiles
OOC:
The first magic missile spell i cast was not maximized the rolls for it were: 2,3,3,4,2=14 damage.
The magic missiles i cast from then on are all maxed.
They always hit their target and these are maximized. Each time I cast five missiles are fired at 5 dam each (1d4+1 max 5) so 5x5= 25 dam each time i cast Magic missile.

Topic: Diabolic Genesis-Origins of Evil Q&A
Subject: Savrit- Satya
Satya was raised in the desert with her family, the Laasya tribe. All children were taught the ways of the Bedine life, it was necessary for survival in Anauroch. Food and water were things to respect and conserve as the very keys to life. Every Bedine learned at a young age to defend it with their life. Her people were passionate and strong, living every aspect of life to the fullest for no one knew just what tomorrow held in the desert. If a poor beggar were to come in need of water it was given freely yet not foolishly, for if someone were to try and take advantage of the tribe, steal, manipulate, or destroy they would be dealt with without mercy. They fear magic and shun or cast out anyone who wields it. Other than small healing effects (“the favor of the gods”), magic is regarded as a treacherous and dishonorable weapon to use against enemies. Even the most fearless Bedine are wary of those who can work magic, either by spell or item. Her people think a being must be insane, very brave, or very evil to touch – or even willingly draw near – a magic item. Satya was raised to respect the law of sheikh Laasya, to always honor an oath, and that water must be given to the thirsty. To disobey the law of the sheikh meant banishment.
The written word was completely unknown to her. There history and all ways of life were passed down through songs, and dancing, and storytelling. They combined all of these aspects to teach the children when they were young. What Satya realized as she grew that all these things prepared her for survival and battle. How to move quickly and silently, to wield a sword, to sing a little poem that reminded all children of how to survive if they get caught in a sand storm or lost in the desert. And every cycle of the moon her people would celebrate life, a great victory in the desert. It began at dusk with the youngest of children showing off their newly learned feats and progressed through the night.
Once Satya was old enough to stay up late and see the second half of the night’s events she was awestruck at what her future held. Fierce sparing with the young men, retelling great battles, seductive dances by the young women in little to nothing as far as she could tell by the light of the heart fire. It was all so wild and beautiful. She still was too young to understand just what was happening when the men swept in around the fire and seemed to devour the women as they tried to continue their dance. The night air filled with laughter and squeals of delight. She could not imagine any other life but what lay before her.
She had no mother or father to speak of, but many children in the tribe were without one or even both parents much like Satya so she felt no different than her fellow brothers and sisters until she became old enough to understand the whispers and the looks the older ones gave her. One day a young boy lashed out at her and called her an outsider and struck her across the face. He was quickly reprimanded and that was the end of the confrontation. The elders did not tolerate strife within the tribe. Unity had to hold them together and keep them strong. They must be of one mind to survive and children that sought to alienate others were not tolerated. So of course they learned to be subtler so as not to be caught by the adults.
Everything changed for her one late afternoon while practicing her dancing with her bone carved sword on the dunes outside of camp. A small group of boys barely twelve years old were lurking at the top of the dune where she was going through her steps. One of them was the boy that had singled her out just last year, he was bigger now and the other three boys seemed to be following on his lead. At first they yelled insults down at her. First commenting on the color of her eyes, then one said something about her parents. At this she stopped what she was doing and the largest boy stood up and walked down to her
“That’s right!” He yelled at her coming closer as his face was turning red “Your father’s an outsider and your mother’s an outsider loving whore! My dad said that if he had been sheikh when they found you in that little basket he’d have snapped your tiny little neck. Laasya was too easy on your mum and banishment was better than she ever deserved. When they found she had left you here they let you stay. But my….” The wagering tone of voice that the boy was speaking in and all the lies he was spilling out brought on a rage in Satya that she could not control. It scared her because she seemed to have suddenly lost control, a prisoner in her body watching from inside.
*Smack*
The world of sand faded around her, all she could see was the bloody pulp that was the face of the boy that had taunted her. There was a white sword of bone flying in front of her face but it didn’t hurt her, it just kept flying down into the ground smashing into the now lifeless form of what might have been the body of a child.
As the rage subsided and the reality of what just happened settled on her small shoulders she started to cry. This was impossible, but now that little seed of doubt had been planted. Why had no one ever spoken about her mom and dad and how they died, just like all the other boys and girls parents. Not a word was ever mentioned about those that she had come from. As she looked around the other three boys stood in dumbfounded terror at what she had done. But none of them moved. They watched her as she dragged herself back to camp. The whole walk back her head was spinning out of control and she fought to keep from throwing up. That would be a foolish waste of food and water and I’m not even sick. The three boys followed her at a great distance and she could tell as the wind shifted that one of them must have soiled himself. I wonder if they are going to tell anyone.
As the large tent that the sheikh lived in came into view she headed straight for it. Not even thinking her feet steered her to the opening and looked up at the two warriors standing guard, one an old woman with missing teeth and a scar nearly ruining her left eye, and the other a young man with smooth handsome features and the smallest trace of hair growing on his chin.
“I would like to ask Laasya a question please.” She said to the guards as determined and steady as she could manage. The old woman took one look at the bloody practice sword in her hand and stepped inside the tent. The man told Satya to wait. Moments passed as she could see the boys’ running back to their tent, practically slinking in hopes that she wouldn’t do the same thing to them as she did to their big buddy who now laid most likely half devoured by carrion out on the desert floor. She cringed as the bloody mess plagued her thoughts. The old woman came back out and held the flap aside motioning for Satya to enter.
“What do you want to know from me child?” came a rich and deep voice from far within the tent. The sound put her at ease and seemed to shut out the sudden sand storm that had descended on her in a matter of minutes. “I am told you have come to ask me a question and from the looks of it, one of grave importance,” as he indicated the bloody sword in her hand. At the notion of it she dropped it as if it had stung her and stepped away.
“My parents?” she felt her heart quaver as she asked it but her voice held steady. “Who were they?”
The sheikh took a deep breath and slowly exhaled as if waiting for the right words to come to him. “Your mother was my baby sister and your father……”another deep breath. “Your father was a man that loved her very much.”
“Was he what the others say? Was he an outsider?” There was a ringing now in her ears from all the blood that had been racing through her veins and things seemed to be getting darker as strange little stars of light danced before her eyes. She would not pass out she would hold it together.
“He was not of this tribe but he came to be called friend among some of us here. He was a ranger from the south and he came to us during a time of great need. I believe that Elah sent him to us so that we could help him and in turn he could help us. It was during the time when great wars were being fought between many Bedine tribes. We are a small clan now because of it but your father helped us to get out of the fighting. He was found near dead from exposure in the desert so he was brought in and cared for. His body healed but his soul was broken with grief and we could not seem to help him get better. Your mother had just reach woman hood and had not yet taken a man so she was still working with the widows and other young single women taking turns caring for our strange dying guest. She fell in love with him, they say, at first sight. I don’t know for sure, but when she nursed him he came back from the dead. As he recovered he spent much time here with us learning our ways and teaching us new things about the world that we do not get to see in the desert. Your mother went to him one night and that is when you were created. It caused a divide in the tribe. Many did not want an outsider here no matter what kind of man he was, they wanted him gone. Few even plotted to take his life. For my sister’s happiness I made a point of taking him out with me and my guard to scout a new place to move to. I wanted to be sure that our small tribe could relocate somewhere safe. For nine months we searched and found the perfect place. When you were born we were in the process of moving and we were attacked. Many said it was the outsiders fault but I do not believe your father wished you or your mother any harm. So much do I believe, because he went out to fight and led our enemies away as we were given a chance to flee. Your mother was heartbroken that he did not return and was convinced that she could find him. So one night she brought you in a small basket and left you in my tent. I have not seen or heard from them since. There was so much pain surrounding their disappearances that you will get a different story from everyone that remembers what happened.”
At Laasya’s words her world melted. A piece of the child inside disappeared and was replaced by a young woman now uncertain of who she was and what future now lay before her. They continued to talk for another hour until an outcry came from the other side of the camp, just the sound of a grieved mother at the loss of a child. The desert takes lives so easily that death was a part of life here. Satya confided in her Uncle what had transpired later that day; he sat still and emotionless as he listened to the young girl sob tears over what she had done.
This marked the beginning of a mentorship with Satya and Laasya. Every day for three years they went out together and he told her stories of her parents and taught her everything that her father had brought them about survival. Even more so then what the desert teaches. She learned about rain and seasons and tracking and when the tribe camped close enough to the edge of the desert they would even venture to hunt just beyond its borders. This awoke a side of her that she had never known existed, to travel and explore the wild. The boys never wanted to have anything to do with her as she matured because rumor spread of her ferociousness, leaving her even more time for extended adventures away from a home that no longer felt like home any more. At age sixteen when all the other young women were chosen that fateful night she had dreamed of being part of long ago, Satya was alone. Not for lack of beauty or skill simply all the other young men around her had come to fear her much like the outsider her father was. So as evening slipped on to dawn she took what few belongings she had and said good bye to the life she knew and walked in to the life that beckoned her.

Description
Satya has dark brown skin tanned by years of living in the desert. She has wavy dark brown hair that falls just past her shoulder blades, and green/hazel eyes. She is five feet, eight inches with a curvy figure and hard toned muscles. She is 26 years old and has tattoo markings all down her arms and across her back, of various tribal markings that she has collected over her ten years of travel. She wears studded leather armor and a cloak of dark brown with delicate green embroidery. She still dresses much like her people in the desert because it is more comfortable for her so the dark green wrap on her head conceals all of her hair and her baggy linen pants are airy and unconstrained, unlike the tight pants of the latest fashion. She has spent very little time in the cities and owns little else in the way of clothing. The last dress she owned was one she wore when she was 16 and has long since out grown. She unlike most Rangers has no animal companion, and gets by on the land and occasionally hiring herself out as a scout or guide.
